A fun Christmas tradition is writing a letter to Santa.It's easier for Santa to get the presents you want if you write a well written letter.He is a busy guy with millions of children asking for presents.Think about what you want to ask for.Write a nice letter, decorate it, and give it to your parents to send off to the North Pole.
Step 1: A few days before, make a list of what you want.
Before you write your letter to Santa, you should write down everything you want.Reconsider what you wrote when you return to your list.You should cross off items you don't like and keep the ones you love.Santa doesn't always get everything on a child's list because he gets a lot of letters from children around the globe.You should only include your top items.
Step 2: Put on some Christmas music.
There is nothing like Christmas music to get the job done when you write a letter to Santa.You can listen to Christmas music on the radio, phone, or computer.If you need help, ask your parents.
Step 3: Pick the paper.
If you want to keep it simple, you can use a plain white piece of paper.The paper works well.Make sure to grab a couple pieces in the event of a mess-up.Ask your parents if they have fun papers.If you want, you can use a premade card.Talk to your parents to see what they have.
Step 4: Write something down.
You can use a pen or pencil, but you can also use crayons, colored pencils, and markers.Markers and colored pencils can be combined to make a colorful letter.Make sure you have a writing utensil you can use.Santa needs to be able to read your letter.
Step 5: Write it down.
Write your full address in the top right-hand corner of the page.Santa can write a letter back if he knows where to find you.Write the date on the second line.Santa knows where to find people on Christmas Eve, so this may not be a requirement.If you don't know how to write your address, ask your parents.
Step 6: "Dear Santa" is what you should begin your letter with.
A salutation is a type of greeting.Writing to Santa is a good way to start your letters.
Step 7: Santa, tell him who you are.
Santa has been watching you all year.He needs to know which one is yours because he gets a lot of letters.If you want, add your age and your name.Write, "My name is _____."I'm years old.
Step 8: Ask Santa how he is doing.
Santa is no exception to asking the person you are writing to how they are.You could ask him about the weather in the North Pole, how Mrs. Claus is doing, or if the reindeer liked the food you left out for them.If you show your manners, you will have a better chance of being on the Nice List.
Step 9: Santa would appreciate it if you told him the good things you did this year.
He is busy and may need to remind himself of how good he has been.Tell him about your accomplishments at school, the good things you have done for your family and friends, and how well you listen to your parents.Be honest.Santa knows if you are telling the truth.You could say, "I helped my little sister tie her shoes last week" or " I cleaned my room right away when my parents asked."
Step 10: Santa will be happy to hear about the things on your list.
A few presents that you really love should be in the list you wrote a few days ago.Remember to say please when you ask Santa for the goodies in your letter.I would like a new soccer ball, a scooter, and a cool pair of sneakers.
Step 11: If you want, you can include a request for someone else.
It is a lot of fun to get presents from Santa on Christmas, but do not forget that Christmas is all about love and compassion.Think about the people in your life.Do you want to include a wish or present for them?Maybe your mother is a big fan of chocolate bars.Santa could give her some chocolate bars.Say something like, "I would like two chocolate bars for my mom because they are her favorite!" It can also be a nice wish for a person you love.If your brother's broken arm heals up soon, you could wish for a happy Christmas for everyone in your family.
Step 12: Say thank you to Santa.
Thanks to Santa, millions of presents were delivered to kids all over the world in a single night.Thank you for being kind and generous.You could say something like, "It is amazing how you deliver presents every year to kids like me all over the world."Thank you so much.
Step 13: You should sign your letter.
Sign your name underneath with a closing statement like "sincerely," "love," or "best wishes."You could sign your letter, "Love, Abby."
Step 14: Take pictures of your letter.
You can decorate your letter as you please now that you have finished writing it.You could draw a snowman, a Christmas tree, or a reindeer.You can draw a portrait of Santa.Santa is going to get a kick out of that.All sorts of Christmas pictures can be drawn with crayons, markers, colored pencils, and pens.Santa loves little imperfections, so if you make a few mistakes, don't worry.If you really want to start over, you can.
Step 15: Add a border.
You can draw a border around the edges of your letter.Your border can be anything you want it to be.You can draw a border made of stars or Christmas trees.
Step 16: The envelope should be addressed.
Ask your parents to give you an envelope.Write Santa Claus, North Pole in big, clear letters on the front of the envelope.The postman will know where to send the letter.When you are done, seal the envelope.You can decorate the envelope.
Step 17: Send the letter to your parents.
They will be able to get it to Santa.Your letter will be sent to the North Pole.Santa will be impressed by the amount of work you put into it.If you want to see where your letter is going, you could ask your parents to show you a map of the North Pole.It looks cold there.
